3. MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE FULFILLED THAT GOAL YOURSELF THEN Paul Martin is saaaaaaaaaad Harper hasn’t met his (Martin’s) Millenium Aid goal. (Globe and Mail)

4. POPE’S ASTRONOMER NOT A COMPLETE MEDIEVAL TWAT Vatican astronomer, Guy Consolmagno, says Intelligent Design theory is bad theology. Also says he’d happily baptize an alien regardless of the number of its tentacles. Alien’s still going to hell if it touches itself with even one of those tentacles. ‘Cause that’s how Earth’s God rolls. Burn for eternity you self-abusing outer-space freak! (Boing Boing)

6. FETCH ME A TIME MACHINE Because somebody has to kill this idea before someone even gets it: Keanu Reeves is talking about a Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure 3. Time travel is the only sane response to such a threat. Even if it’s been known to fail on occasion….

I haven’t seen either B&T movie in 20 years, but I remember them as uncynical romps bridging the kidventure genre of Time Bandits, Goonies and Monster Squad with teen flicks like Ferris Bueller, 3 O’Clock High, etc
Also, these movies, especially the first one, imparted a value on learning and knowledge, as well as waterslides.

It’s also been like 20 years since I saw Bogus Journey but I went with a girl so I’ve a very clear memory of lying and saying I liked it.

Confession time: other movies I’ve lied about and said I liked so as to impress a girl: Batman (the first one by Tim Burton — so fucking boring), UHF, The Untouchables, Dances with Wolves (Maury Chakin’s cameo excepted).

I’m sure there’s more. But man, it feels good to get that off my chest.
